Hello again,
We have an appointment with a home builder next week. So right now, we are deeply involved in planning to be able to present as clear ideas as possible next week.
We went through all the floor plans on the company’s website, and actually only one fits our needs. The problem is: it’s designed as a single-family house, but we would prefer a town villa. The floor plan itself is almost square, so it could work well with the town villa style.
Now to my question: Would a builder be willing to adapt this floor plan for a town villa? Of course, the upper floor would need to be higher and a hip roof instead of a gable roof would be required. We understand this would involve additional cost. But in theory, it would still be more cost-effective than starting with a town villa floor plan that we would have to change a lot until it matches the one we like.
What do you think? Do builders do such adjustments? If not, we will look for other plans today and tomorrow, so that’s why I’m asking here.
Best regards!

Do you have a catalog from the company? I’m missing the floor plans for the urban villas. I would be surprised if they are very different from the Coburg house.
However, I see a lot of potential for improvement in this floor plan. But first, clarify the costs: if you add an additional floor of the same size on top with dimensions of 8.75 x 10 meters (29 x 33 feet) instead of a 45-degree roof, the upper floor will be larger.

Regarding the thermal wall option with formwork blocks, the construction method would be comparable to what you will find under the search term "Kern-Haus," including several warnings from other builders. Otherwise, Febro offers porous bricks or calcium silicate bricks, and from my impression, the porous bricks might be better.
Ok, good to know. Thanks!

The Modena would be structurally more similar to your basic model as an alternative villa than the Florenz, which at 154 m² (1650 sq ft) is closer in size but conceptually less comparable due to, among other things, a slanted load-bearing wall. You would be close in price with the Modena, but slightly above with 148 m² (1593 sq ft) compared to the Modena’s 145 m² (1561 sq ft).
The price for the Modena would still increase because we don’t like the floor plan as it is and would make changes. That’s why I suspect that even with adding a second floor, we could still end up with a somewhat better price. But well, you’ve essentially already answered my main question. We will just go ahead and keep a plan B ready.

You posted many links from Wiki in #5. I used to get a warning for that.
Maybe you should apologize to the admin now, before you get banned?Oops, thanks for the info, I thought Wiki was allowed. Now I know. Thanks! Always those lawless guys.......

With the Modena, the price would increase further because we’re not satisfied with the existing floor plan and would make changes. That’s why I suspect that even with raising the upper floor, we might still end up with a somewhat better price.
But well, you already answered my main question. We’ll just give it a try and keep a plan B ready. The Coburg has a knee wall of 0.8 meters (2.6 feet), which means the exterior walls are raised by about 1.80 meters (5.9 feet), including insulation and plaster. The roof has complex edges, so it won’t be cheap either.
